You Can Surrender Your Worries

Breathe Deep and Know: God cares about you. Give Him all your worries—He’ll carry them, and He’ll carry you.

When I’m weighed down by the many burdens and worries of life, I often have to remind myself: God cares for me. I can give Him my deepest worries, my most irrational fears, my wounds and my doubts. He carries my cares. And He carries me. He has sustained me till now, and He will sustain me still—no matter what.

What cares are you holding onto today? What worries are weighing you down? What burdens are heavy on your heart? Take a moment to name them. Write them down. Now, as you pray, lay these worries down—literally, set the words you’ve written down on the floor in front of you—as you would lay them at His feet. Surrender them all to God today.

He wants you to give Him your worries because He cares about you. He already knows the heavy weight that you’re carrying and He invites you to give it all to Him. Let Him carry you and all your worries, too.

Give all your worries and cares to God, for he cares about you.

1 Peter 5:7
